great friend supported me in all my troubles .
Google turned 11 yesterday, and it's hard to believe Google is only 11. Long ago it became its own verb, replacing "to search for" with its ubiquitous moniker, and permanently etched itself into Internet culture. Now, with its many offshoots, Google is no longer just a quick and easy alternative to, say, Yahoo search or AOL Web crawling, but rather, an institution.
It's also hard to imagine where we'd be without Google. Here are five reasons why I cannot live without it.
Without Gmail, we'd still rely on other free Webmail applications, many of them drenched in flashing advertisements and incapable of sorting out gobs of spam with the efficiency and unobtrusiveness of Google. And Gmail, just recently out of beta, continuously improves, integrating Google's many features into its streamlined interface. Sure, it goes down every once in a while; but we love it, so we cut it a break.
Google Docs changed the way people conduct business on the Web. Morphing the capabilities of Word, Excel, and PowerPoint into free applications -- and providing them as a collaborative experience with anyone on the Internet -- was impetus for many to skip out on buying expensive Microsoft products. As an answer to Google's battle cry, Microsoft shoved its Office suite up into the clouds, making it clear that Google is stoking competition with its innovative approach to productivity.
MapQuest was once the be-all, end-all for Internet route mapping. But with Google Maps and Google Earth, Google stole a share of the attention. Google Maps never ceases to amaze me. Just recently it integrated Boston's obnoxious public transit system into its directions, allowing me to find the quickest route via trolley, train or bus. Its use of walking directions was also a brilliant move for us city-dwellers who shun motor vehicles in favor of a good pair of sneakers.
I hate Internet Explorer. Firefox is too slow for me. That's where Google Chrome busts in like the Kool-Aid Man. Nimble, smooth, and reliable, Google Chrome has permanently replaced the alternatives. Like all of Google's products, Chrome is constantly under development, and its most recent beta reinforces its role as a strong contender in the browser wars, especially since Sony is preinstalling it on laptops.
I hope the heavily opposed Google Books Project can passify its critics so the effort shifts in Google's favor before its 12th birthday, as this is one of the most exciting literary projects ever. Google found itself in a quandary after scanning millions of rare and out-of-print books, getting sued, finding a settlement, and then watching that settlement scuttle back to the drawing board. Once the project is completed, people will be able to access millions of books from all over and enjoy what, in some cases, has been lost for years.
What's your favorite Google product?

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

E3 2010: Gunnar Optiks (Hands on)

Gaming Nexus
Gunnar Optiks
GUNNAR Optiks
had a little motor home outside of the convention center showing off their brand new 3D glasses. Before I get into them, let's talk a little bit about the company.
GUNNAR's founded by former members of Oakley, which as you well know, is a very big player in the optical community. They make eyewear to help those that stare at monitors for a long time relieve eye strain and reduce dryness. Gamers tend to focus on the action so much that they blink a lot less. The glasses that GUNNAR makes help trap moisture and reduce air currents due to their design. I actually compared the lense shapes to my old Gargoyles whereby the lenses are curved instead of flat.
They have a great range of styles from their website and being heavily endorsed by the Major League Gaming association. Plenty of professional gamers are wearing GUNNAR Optiks and our own Ben Berry has been really impressed with them.
I was there to see the 3D gaming glasses but have never looked through a pair of GUNNAR Optiks before. Putting on a pair, I was surprised at how clear it made viewing my 4.3" screen on my phone. There's a yellow-ish tint that I do like and they were so light that I barely felt them on my face. Seeing as I program a ton and also game plenty of hours afterwards, I might look into picking up a pair to see if it would help me from suffering tired and dry eyes at the end of the day.
Now back to why I was at their trailer. 3D's becoming bigger and bigger and while most solutions today are using active shutter glasses, GUNNAR is producing some passive 3D glasses like the ones you see in movie theaters that use those paper or light plastic ones. Unlike those though, these are high quality and offer up a better quality picture when looking through them.
Whereas those you get in the movie theater are flat, flimsy glasses, the ones from GUNNAR are using their i-AMP technology to produce shaped lense that provides distortion free viewing. They are also not too bad looking as well and they felt very lightweight when worn. The trailer had a TV in the back showing off Unreal Tournament 3 with that all too familiar double vision picture. When the glasses were put on, it was amazing how clear and pronounce the 3D image was on the TV. If there was any double image effect, I could not see it and it sure looked pretty nice. Being a veteran of NVIDIA's
GeForce 3D Vision
setup, I was surprised at how well the passive setup performed using the GUNNAR glasses.
Now, these glasses aren't cheap though as you can probably deduce. They start at $90 a pair but they are pretty high quality items. For those who wear prescription glasses, GUNNAR will be offering these glasses that way as well in the near future. I'm be interested to do a comparison between using the cheap theater brands to the GUNNAR Optik ones with so many 3D movies coming out in the next few months.

text: Mink DeVille is a legendary American rock band, who made their name as the house band at CBGBs from 1975 - 1977. They never really fitted in with their contemparies of the scene - new wave bands such as Blondie and Television, but that was part of their appeal. Mink DeVille's bluesy take on rock had a real appeal for fans, and made the connection with music such as early Rolling Stones and Van Morrison. After releasing a series of albums for Capitol, by 1981 Willy DeVille was the sole remaining original member of the band. From that point on, after getting a new recording contract with Atlantic, the band was made up of hired hands. In 2008, Eagle Rock released their 1982 Montreux Jazz Festival performance, showing a band at a fascinating crossroads between Punk and RnB (they even go so far as to cover Ben E. King�s �Stand by Me�) and in the year before every original member had been dismissed. The result is an essential, electrifying document of a truly unique band. Willy sadly died in August 2009; it is not hyperbole to say that the world lost a true musical great.

As Aurora University celebrates the centennial of its move to Aurora in 2012, its contributions to the local economy continue to rise. A new economic impact study finds that AU adds more than $325 million annually to the Chicago area economy, up from $306 million the last time the study was conducted. The increase can be attributed to record enrollment, growing cultural programs and ongoing construction on the Aurora campus.
Additionally, the university employed 349 people on the Aurora campus and created another 1,058 new jobs in the region through its spending.
The study underscores the university's contributions to the local economy and investment in the community as AU looks toward its second century in the Fox Valley. The report, conducted by EconImpact using American Council on Education methodology, factors in direct and secondary spending, alumni earnings and social benefits.
Other highlights of the report include:
- AU contributes almost $110 million to the Kane County economy, an increase of more than 17 percent, and $50 million to the Aurora economy alone.
- AU employees, students and visitors directly add $18.2 million in spending to the local economy. Secondary business spending brings the total spending impact to $47 million.
- An AU graduate in the Chicago area with a bachelor's degree earns $21,657 more than someone with a high school diploma, while alumni with master's degrees earn $26,544 more than someone with an undergraduate degree. Collectively, alumni earnings add $174 million to the regional economy.
- AU contributes $104 million in social benefits to the economy such as reduced crime, incarceration, unemployment and welfare expenditures, according to the study.
The AU impact on the community isn't limited to the economy. A separate report by the Wackerlin Center for Faith and Action that details campus volunteerism estimates Aurora AU students spent more than 1,000 hours serving in the community and raised more than $10,000 for local agencies during the fall semester. In 2011, more than 100 organizations were helped by AU volunteer projects such as campus-wide service days, mission trips, and food and clothing drives.
For more information, read the full Economic Impact Study.

Playing airplane with your kids takes you anywhere you want to go in the world.
Photo © Apryl Duncan
So we take flight in our own house. Playing airplane with your kids lets their imaginations soar, and these airplane activities liven up the fun.
We start with setting up chairs for our airplane's seats. We also pack a suitcase, make our own airline tickets and go through security.
Once my children board their flight, their personal flight attendant (me!) brings a snack to their seats. Their wagon makes the perfect beverage cart!
They don't fly alone either. Their fellow travelers are usually Snoopy, Mickey Mouse, Cookie Monster and SpongeBob.
For our most recent flight, Snoopy browsed a magazine, Mickey Mouse watched DVDs, Cookie Monster read a book and SpongeBob listened to music on his headphones. We staged them to look like they were doing these things to make our flight a little more realistic ... as realistic as a flight with dining room chairs for airplane seats and stuffed animals as passengers can be, that is.
When the plane takes flight, my boys use a tray to color or read a book while they fly toward their destination. And when the plane lands, they start their adventures on the ground.
So far, they've flown everywhere from the North Pole (we wrapped up in blankets and ate ice cream) to a tropical island (we had a beach picnic in our living room and painted our cheeks bright red for a sunburn). We even make silly souvenirs to take home with us. On our last excursion, we painted funny faces on seashells and packed them in our suitcases for our return trip home.
Where we go next is up to them. But I'm hoping they opt for that tropical island vacation again. Mama's T-shirts and shorts are already packed in the suitcase!

Natosha L. Finley
Assistant Professor of Microbiology
Research Interests:
My lab utilizes NMR and molecular biophysics to gain structural insight into biological processes that contribute to human pathophysiology such as the activation of bacterial exotoxins and impaired muscle contractility. One area of interest involves the study of the molecular interaction of adenylate cyclase toxins with host cell target activators. An atomic-level understanding of the association of host cell proteins with bacterial exotoxins may facilitate the rational design of novel therapeutics to combat opportunistic human pathogens. Another goal of my research program is to define the molecular basis by which thick filament proteins control muscle contraction. By examining the structural consequences of inheritable mutations in thick filament proteins, my lab seeks a molecular understanding of the transition from normal to diseased states in heart and skeletal muscle. Enhanced knowledge of the structural mechanisms of aberrant muscle contraction is crucial to the development of diagnostic and pharmaceutical approaches to treat muscle defects.
My lab is also involved in collaborative projects with Drs. Actis and Balish to study the protein structure/function relationships that play roles the pathogenesis of A. baumannii and Mycoplasma, respectively.

SAN BERNARDINO - A brutal nonleague schedule paid dividends for the San Bernardino High School boys basketball team once San Andreas League play rolled around.
A 12-0 run early in the fourth quarter propelled the Cardinals to a 62-51 victory over Arroyo Valley on Friday night, clinching San Bernardino's second league title in the last three years.
"I'm happy it's back home in Cardinal City," San Bernardino coach Darin Graham said. "We missed it. I felt we should have won it last year."
Not surprisingly, Khleem Perkins led the way for the Cardinals (14-10 overall, 8-0 league), scoring 15 of his game-high 35 points in the fourth quarter.
"Some of those shots were really tough," Graham said.
Santa Ana Mater Dei, La Verne Lutheran, Los Angeles Westchester, Long Beach Cabrillo and La Habra Sonora were among the Cardinals' nonleague opponents. That didn't help their preseason record but helped once league play started.
Arroyo Valley (16-7, 5-3) was in position to pull the game out in the fourth quarter when Bobby Bonner made two free throws in the first 20 seconds of the period to cut the Hawks' deficit to 36-32.
But that's when things unraveled for Arroyo Valley.
Perkins scored eight points during the 12-0 run that ensued, giving the Cardinals a 48-32 lead with 5:10 to play, essentially sealing the Hawks' fate. Arroyo Valley could get no closer than eight points the rest of the game.
"We wanted to heat the ball up and force them into some mistakes," Graham said. "And I felt we capitalized on them."
It was a frustrating game for Arroyo Valley and coach Gerry Wright in the physical contest that was not an easy one for the officials to call.
"We started complaining about a couple of calls we didn't get," Wright said. "We let that affect us, we lost our composure. We missed layups and turned the ball over too much.
"But give San Bernardino credit. They didn't lose their composure like we did."
The game was a physical one, and it seemed to take its toll on the free throw shooters in the third quarter, when the teams combined to make just one of 12 free throws.
It was physical and Anthony Banks left the game in the first few minutes when he was hit in the eye on a follow-through from an Arroyo Valley player.
"It was an accident," Graham said.
But he wasn't able to come back in until the third quarter. Banks finished with one point.
San Bernardino succeeded in its goal of limiting the touches of the Hawks' post player, Kyshawn Erwin.
"We want to keep the ball away from their big man, No. 0 (Erwin)," Graham said. "And force their guards to make plays."
Senior guard Bobby Bonner did make plays, scoring 22 points, including 11 in the fourth quarter alone. Erwin was held to eight points.

Dear homeopathic colleagues:
Since the outbreak of H1N1, all national and international health organizations, governments and the worldwide population have been concerned about the progress of this disease. We all know that homeopathy offers a good alternative to the standard treatments by university medicine. The LMHI gathered the already documented experience of our Mexican colleagues in the treatment of H1N1 and wants to disseminate this information. In this way The LMHI fulfills its mission to participate actively in maintaining and improving the health of human beings. With this first bulletin on H1N1, LMHI wishes to contribute to the application of homeopathic medicines in this pandemic.
Best wishes
Dr.Corrado Bruno Dr.José Matuk Past-President LMHI Prime Vice President LMHI LIGA MEDICORUM
The H1N1 flu is a respiratory infection caused by a strain of influenza virus of the type A, which normally causes outbreaks of influenza in pigs. The disease affects pigs almost exclusively, however, a new strain of virus, derived, in part from the human influenza virus, and, in part, from the pig influenza virus, has been demonstrated to be transmissible to humans and, worse, from human being to human being. Another concern that has arisen is the serious form of disease and, because of the high mortality rate of this strain of virus and of its capacity to be transmitted between humans, there is the concern that the H1N1 flu could become a global pandemic.
The H1N1 flu epidemic has spread rapidly in the past weeks. The World Health Organization increased the level of global pandemic alert from level 4 to level 5, which means that, even if the majority of the countries has not been affected yet, there are strong signs that a pandemic is imminent and that the time to organize a contingency plan is short. The increase in alert level indicates that the probability of an emergence of a global H1N1 influenza pandemic has grown during the last weeks. It should be noted that there are reports of cases of influenza caused by other viruses which are not the H1N1. They must be distinguished from the epidemic of human influenza as they present different behaviors. The human influenza has a sudden appearance that evolves more quickly toward pneumonia, with severe attack on the general state of the patient. On a parallel level, there are many cases that do not correspond to human influenza, or to seasonal influenza. They represent rather common colds that have no connection with influenza. At present the homeopathic colleagues of Mexico have been able to identify indirectly, by the written reports of doctors in hospitals, the following symptoms:
- Fever
- Proceeded by 40% great chills
- Persistent fever between 38.5 °C (101.3°F) to 39.4 °C (102.9°F) accompanied by fresh diaphoresis on the back, face and neck
- Generalized weakness, adynamia without extreme prostration
- Profuse sweating during fever
- Sore throat
- Severe
- Pain by intake of solid initially and then even liquids
- Scarce cough
- Non painful
- Dry
- In attacks
- Constant arthralgias in the hands, elbows and shoulders at the febrile peak
- Cold Applications amel
- Retroocular headache or eyeballs pain ("My eyes hurt")
- With rest amel
- Occipital and neck headache aggravated by being raised on a pillow
- Some patients with occipital pain of throbbing type
- Pneumonia with infiltrated interstitial or multiple pockets
- Productive cough with yellowish expectoration
Between 48 and 72 hours the medical situation has developed or has become complicated. The symptoms are vague and have limited clinic homeopathy application, but, as the symptoms were obtained directly from a significant number of H1N1 confirmed infected patients, homeopathic medicine can be used. Influenza ranks among the category of respiratory diseases, but, in reality, the whole body is disrupted when the person gets sick. In short, people affected are often very sick and are suffering from all or some of the symptoms:
- High fever.
- Headache.
- Clear nasal discharge.
- Sneezing.
- Cough, often becoming severe.
- Severe aches and pains.
- Fatigue for several weeks.
- Sometimes sore throat.
- Extreme exhaustion.
- Fever and pain throughout the body generally last from three to five days, but the cough and fatigue can last for two weeks or more.
- Mexican fever may be accompanied by nausea, vomiting and diarrhea.
Diagnostic Guides
Until now the guidelines that have been given to define a case of Mexican influenza (case definition / swine flu) by CDC (Influenza like/illness ILI) are as follows:
- A confirmed case of influenza A H1NI defines a person with an acute breathing illness with laboratory confirmation of the A H1N1 influenza virus through the following laboratory diagnosis:
1. PCR/RT in real time
2. Viral Culture
- A probable case of infection by influenza A H1NI defines a person with influenza type symptoms
1. Positive for influenza A, but negative for H1 or H3 influenza by PCR/RT
A suspected case of influenza A defines people who do not meet the criteria at the top and have H1NI negative tests:
1. Healthy person, under the age of 65 years, hospitalized with symptoms similar to the influenza.
2. Lives in a state (country) where no cases of influenza have been confirmed, but has traveled to a state (country) where there are one or more probable cases.
3. Has been in contact in the last 7 days with a person with similar symptoms to the influenza (ILI).
Homeopathic Medicines
Homeopathic medical treatment is individual, but in the face of an epidemic, we can obtain groups of drugs characterized by the peculiarities of the symptoms of the sick.
For this specific epidemic, we have obtained the following remedies for the symptoms found in different patients.
The symptoms listed above are the common symptoms of the disease that, for the homeopathic doctor, serve to show whether or not it is Influenza. However, they are not useful for the prescription of homeopathic medicines. The pattern and the individuality of the symptoms of each patient are what determine the prescription of a homeopathic remedy. We have listed the symptoms for which these remedies have been indicated, without determining an epidemic genius.
The drugs mostly indicated for this epidemic given by homeopathic Mexican doctors are the following:

Jeb Bush on Health Care
Republican FL Governor; V.P. prospect
The second major change was to provide each person with a risk-adjusted allotment of funds.
To entice companies to insure some of Florida's sickest and poorest citizens, the state proposed to cap Medicaid benefits, and set a ceiling on spending for each recipient. Managed-care companies and other health-care networks would design alternative health plans that Medicaid patients would use. Beyond that, different managed-care networks could attract patients by offering additional services. However, patients would have a choice only among managed-care plans and no longer have access to traditional fee-for-service health care.
One embarrassing consequence of his lack of attention to social services agencies emerged in the days just before Bush left office when his secretary of the Department of Children and Families was fined and threatened with jail time for failure to provide enough beds to treat county jail inmates with severe mental illness. Records from the department showed that it had called repeatedly for funds for adult health and that Bush had slashed every request--in 1 year by 93% (Hunt, 2006; Rushing, 2006). To avoid court sanctions, the governor was forced to ask the Legislative Budget Commissions, an organization that authorizes appropriations when the legislature itself is not in session, for an additional $16.6 million for hundreds of new beds for these individuals.
The governor proposed his plan as a way in which the state could more accurately predict and control its costs. Critics pointed out that no benefits were guaranteed , that access to care for all low-income families was questionable, and that there were no safeguards to make sure that private plans kept their promises. In particular, the AARP questioned whether or not service packages offered by the participants would be meaningful and cover the needs of persons with chronic conditions and special needs that the private market chose not to cover. It also wondered whether the premiums to be offered would be sufficient to purchase an adequate service package.
A: Have you ever gone to HHS? Have you gone to CMS, the Centers for Medicare/Medicaid? It's scary. That's going to be the marketplace for health care if Democrats have their way. McCain had a fantastic health-care proposal that he had a hard time explaining, that said that basically you should empower people, individuals, to make choices, & they should be rewarded when they make choices that improve health-care outcomes. Under Obama, we're going to create a system that's not focused on quality; it's focused on access to care. You end up insuring fewer people the more government expands its insurance. People drop out of the private market. For every person the government takes on the rolls, there's an equal number of people leaving the private sector. We're like gerbils running in place. We're not expanding health-care access per se. There are all sorts of technologies that exist that allow us to improve health-care outcomes if we organize our system differently.
Jeb was saying this, but it was obvious that he wasn't enjoying it, probably because everyone knew it wasn't true. The "compromise" was hardly that--more like a near-total capitulation on Jeb's part. Behind him, state senators stood in the familiar semicircle of solidarity, but they were scarcely able to contain their glee.
Then, after hands were shaken and the senators had withdrawn to their private office, there were laughs and high fives all around. "This is probably the 1st time he's ever been spanked," crowed one. Said another: "I don't want to gloat. Well, yes I do."
In addition to Medicaid, KidCare includes other valuable programs--specifically Medikids, Healthy Kids, and CMS. These non-Medicaid programs provide the critical safety net many parents need to ensure their children are protected. They are not offered as cheaper alternatives for parents who currently buy coverage through their employers. Florida received additional federal funds in January, a bonus for fully using the federal dollars to serve Florida's children in need. The new money will allow us to serve even more children.
My veto of Senate Bill 330 does not diminish our state�s commitment to addressing the important public health issue of fighting and preventing cancer. In conclusion, the appropriation does not fulfill some of the most important criteria by which other appropriations are being evaluated. For these reasons I am withholding my approval of Senate Bill 330, and do hereby veto the same.
A: No.
The Governors support efforts designed to enable small employers to join together to participate more effectively in the health insurance market. In fact, Governors have taken the lead in facilitating the development of such partnerships and alliances. However, these partnerships must be carefully structured and regulated by state agencies in order to protect consumers and small businesses from fraud and abuse and underinsurance. NGA opposes attempts to expand federal authority under ERISA. The Governors have identified the prevention of such federal legislation in the 107th Congress as a top legislative priority.
States have the primary responsibility for health insurance regulation. Across the nation, Governors are working to protect consumers and patients and to properly regulate the complicated health insurance industry.
As you know, preserving and protecting the state tobacco settlement funds is the nation�s Governors� highest priority. We strongly urge you to reach final agreement and pass the conference report on the emergency supplemental appropriations bill soon, and to retain the Senate provision that protects our settlement funds from federal seizure.
Many of our state legislatures are currently in session, and some have already completed work on their budgets. Therefore, it is critical that conferees reach agreement quickly on this issue. Governors are unified in their commitment to ensuring that the funds remain in the states and that there be no restrictions on states� ability to tailor spending to meet the needs of their citizens.
We offer our strongest support for conferees to recede to the Senate version of the bill containing the Hutchison/Graham bipartisan tobacco recoupment protection legislation.

Boswell's Presumptuous Task
The Making of the Life of Dr. Johnson
Adam Sisman - Author
National Book Critics Circle Award
Winner of the National Book Critics Circle Award—the story behind the writing of the best biography of all time
James Boswell's The Life of Samuel Johnson is the most celebrated of all biographies, acknowledged as one of the greatest and most entertaining books in the English language. Yet Boswell himself has generally been considered little more than an idiot and condemned by posterity as a lecher and drunk. How could such a fool have written such a book? With great wit, Adam Sisman here tells the story of Boswell's presumptuous task-the making of the greatest biography of all time. Sisman traces the friendship between Boswell and Samuel Johnson, his great mentor, and provides a fascinating account of Boswell's seven-year struggle to write The Life of Samuel Johnson.
To write the life of him who excelled all mankind in writing the lives of others . . . may be reckoned in me a presumptuous task.
This is the story of a book. Boswell's "presumptuous task" was to write the life of his friend and mentor, Samuel Johnson; in the pages that follow I have tried to show how he set about his task, and eventually, after almost seven years of effort and agony, fulfilled it.
Anyone with an interest in biography soon becomes interested in Boswell's Life of Johnson. It stands next to other biographies as Shakespeare stands beside other playwrights: towering above them all. For more than two centuries it has been continuously in print, and in that time it has won innumerable admirers. No other biography has given so much pleasure; no other biographer has created such a vivid central character. It has become a truism that, as a result of Boswell's extraordinary book, Samuel Johnson is better known to us than any other man in history.
As well as being a famous and much-loved book, the Life of Johnson is a work that raises fundamental questions about the nature of biography itself. Is it possible for a biographer to understand fully what it is like to be another human being? However careful and diligent the writer, can biography be accurate, that is, faithful to life? Everybody knows "Dr Johnson," or so we think; but is the man we know from the ink pages of Boswell's book the same Johnson that strode the streets of London 250 years ago? Is biography science, or art? History or fiction?
In his book James Boswell made a heroic attempt to display his friend "as he really was." He did not conceal his partiality; his reverence, affection, and even love for Johnson are obvious throughout, and an endearing feature of his biography. But neither did he conceal Johnson's faults: his rudeness, his prejudices, and his temper. Boswell was the first biographer to attempt to tell the whole truth about his subject, to portray his lapses, his blemishes, and his weaknesses as well as his great qualities: an aim we take for granted today, but in Boswell's time a startling innovation.
Boswell reconstructed Johnson's conversations from fragmentary records. He collected memorabilia of Johnson from every possible source, and then went to unprecedented lengths to verify the accuracy of the material he used. He insisted that "everything relevant to so great a man is worth observing," and though much ridiculed for it, he described the minute details of the way Johnson dressed, what he ate, and how he behaved. The result is that Johnson, a remote, venerable figure to most of his contemporaries, appears to us a warm, living human being.
Boswell's ambition was nothing less than to resuscitate his dead friend in print. Indeed (so Boswell claimed), had Johnson's other friends been as thorough in recording what he said and did, "he might have been almost entirely preserved" As it was, Boswell boasted that in his biography Johnson might be seen "more completely than any man who ever lived."
However, despite Boswell's determination to gather up every remaining scrap of information about his subject, aspects of Johnson's life were forever hidden from him. On a practical level, the two men did not meet until Johnson was fifty-three; and though Boswell came to know Johnson very well indeed afterwards, his knowledge was inevitably circumscribed. Boswell was also limited by his own limitations: he could not imagine what he could not comprehend. Like all biographers, he could show only what he could see. The man we come to know in the pages of Boswell's book is, so far as we can tell, faithful to life, but only to the life that Boswell witnessed and understood.
One way of reading the Life of Johnson is as a hybrid: a memoir concealed within a life. Boswell pays much less attention to the period of Johnson's life before they met: his subjects first fifty-three years take up less than one-fifth of his book, the remaining twenty-one more than four-fifths. From this point on, the reader is almost constantly aware of Boswell at Johnson's side; the narrative is much more lively once he appears. The special flavour of the Life of Johnson derives from the fact that the biographer is a character in his own book. Readers see Boswell coming to London in the hope of meeting Johnson; writing him letters that he did not send; contemplating writing his life; and proposing the idea to him, very tentatively. It is like watching a play when you can see the stage-hands, the actors waiting to come on, and indeed the playwright scribbling in the wings. Apparently everything is on view; but the more that can be seen, the less obvious it becomes where the true drama is taking place.
Though the Samuel Johnson evoked in Boswell's biography is one of the most powerful personalities in literature, as real as any character in fiction, he never quite escapes from his disciple, James Boswell: they remain as much a pair as Don Quixote and Sancho Panza, or Holmes and Watson. Indeed, much of the pleasure in reading the Life of Johnson comes from the presence of Boswell as narrator, just as the presence of Watson (whom Holmes compared to Boswell) supplies much of the pleasure in the Sherlock Holmes stories. There are passages where Johnson appears to be sharing a confidence with the reader, while Boswell struggles to keep up, as if the writer was the last one to be let in on the joke. Johnson's amusement shines through the surface of Boswell's prose.
On the other hand, there are many occasions when Boswell seems almost like a ventriloquist, putting words into Johnson's mouth. He became adept at steering the conversation in directions which would stimulate Johnson to say something memorable; he was proud of this ability, though often it required him to play the straight man alongside Johnson, the butt of Johnson's wit. In this sense Boswell was creating his own copy, the reporter making news for himself.
Johnsonian scholars complain that Boswell has monopolized Johnson: that his gigantic biography dwarfs anything else written about his subject, or even by him. Edmund Burke, who knew them both, remarked that Johnson appears greater in Boswell's books than in his own. Today, people are much more likely to read Boswell's book about Johnson than they are to read Johnson himself. But that is not to say that Boswell was the greater man. Johnson's greatness lay in his mind, the art of thinking, that process which Boswell found so difficult; and it found its most lasting expression in his conversation -- more lasting than his writing, which even in his own lifetime was beginning to seem dated. Johnson's particular genius was to express in trenchant form eternal truths; like Oscar Wilde, he is perennially quotable.
Boswell kept a record of Johnson's talk in brief memoranda, noted down as soon as possible afterwards, later written up into a journal, which eventually became a principal source for his biography. This method of recording was flawed; even if the notes were scribbled down the same evening, there was plenty of opportunity for error. Though Boswell had a remarkable memory, it was not infallible; and to reconstruct Johnson's conversation Boswell had to call on his own imagination as well. In this sense the Johnson of the Life is Boswell's creation. But Boswell spent so much time in the company of his subject that Johnson's forms of speech, even the patterns of his thought, were deeply imprinted on the younger maws mind. Thus Boswell was to some extent Johnson's creation also, and thus he was able to recapture a version of what Johnson had said many years afterwards, and hand it on to us.
The Life of Johnson can be read as an unending contest between author and subject for posterity. Johnson and Boswell are locked together for all time, in part-struggle, part-embrace. Boswell win forever be known as Johnson's sidekick, remembered principally because he wrote the life of a greater man; Johnson is immortalized but also imprisoned by the Life, known best as Boswell portrayed him. Each is a creation of the other.
For the first hundred years or so after the Life of Johnson was published, critics tended to take the line that it was a great book written by a simpleton who just happened to be in the right place at the right time. The set-piece conversations seemed no more than a naïve record. Then a succession of astonishing finds-the literary equivalent of the discovery of Tutankhamen's tomb—revealed a "colossal hoard" of Boswell manuscripts, including the manuscripts of the Life of Johnson and its precursor The Journal of a Tour to the Hebrides, and his journals, among the most revealing ever written. We now have much more information about the biographer than we do about his subject. From being regarded as a little man who wrote a great book, Boswell came to be seen as an important literary figure, a pioneer of modern biography—and of autobiography, for the focus of academic interest has shifted from subject to author, from Boswell's books to his journals and manuscripts. It has become clear that many of the best-loved passages in the Life of Johnson originated in Boswell's autobiographical journal, and that Boswell was a much more careful and ambitious writer than anybody had supposed. No longer is Boswell regarded as a mere "stenographer," a secretary taking down Johnson's dictation, but as a writer of consummate skill, even genius. But just as these discoveries have led to a greater appreciation of Boswell as a writer, so they have prompted fresh questions about the fidelity of his book. The publication of Boswell's letters and journals started a scholarly debate about the accuracy of the Life of Johnson: was it really what it appeared to be, or was it a disguised piece of fiction? Was Boswells insistence on authenticity a cover? To what extent had Boswell "invented" Dr Johnson, as George Bernard Shaw suggested? And, indeed, himself?
When I became interested in the subject, I first thought of writing a full biography of Boswell, but I soon changed my mind. For one thing, there are several good biographies of Boswell already. I also found that my attention tended to flag when Boswell was not in Johnson's company; it was not Boswell the man that interested me (though he was a very interesting man), so much as Boswell the biographer. As someone who had worked in publishing, I had witnessed the scramble to memorialize an important literary figure after his death; and as a writer, I had experienced the pressures of writing a biography in competition with rivals. I became absorbed in trying to answer questions such as: What drew Boswell to Johnson in the first place? Why did he want to write about Johnson, and why did he persist, in the face of so much adversity? How did he set about his task? Did his ideas change as his writing progressed? Many of the biographical issues Boswell faced are commonplace nowadays, but were quite new when he tackled them. How did he evaluate the varied and sometimes contradictory material he gathered? Why did he put so much stress on verification? How did he deal with "delicate" topics: for example, Johnson's sexual dalliance with a young widow, while his wife was asleep in the next room? Boswell's journals and manuscripts provide a cornucopia of fresh information for anyone seeking the answer to such questions.

Kyle Bramble didn't get much rest last season as a senior running back for Floyd Central, leading the state in rushing yards per game.
It's a different story this season for Bramble as a Dartmouth freshman. Instead of getting 30-plus carries a game, Bramble is learning a new system and developing for the future.
That's fine with the modest Bramble, who is enjoying the journey.
"It's definitely different and you have to start at the bottom again," he said. "I just have to work my way back up and that's something I'm going to try to do."
At various points this season, Bramble has shown flashes to indicate he's ready to make that climb sooner rather than later.
Dartmouth's junior varsity team played an abbreviated three-game schedule this season. Bramble was used as the feature tailback in the final two games, rushing 28 times for 228 yards and three touchdowns.
Bramble rushed for 141 yards and two touchdowns in a 21-10 win over Williams College.
"Even when he was 'the guy' and we used him more of a feature back, he showed he could get stronger as the game went on," said Dartmouth running backs coach Chris Wilkerson. "He's a tough physical runner and still has that straight-line speed, so that when he gets to the open field he can go the distance anytime he touches the football."
When running backs ahead of him on the depth chart were injured briefly, Bramble filled in as a kick returner. He fielded two for an average of 15 yards per return.
Bramble said adjusting to the mental challenges of college football are nearly as tedious as the physical portions.
"The college game you have to do a lot more reads and it's a lot more mental than I thought it would be," he said. "In high school you just have to memorize the play and do what you had to. In college you have to look for certain linebackers and looking to see what is going on all over the field instead of looking to see what you have to do."
While helping to lead Floyd Central to a 9-2 record last season, Bramble rushed for 2,875 yards and 47 touchdowns. He averaged 261 rushing yards per game.
He easily led the state in rushing touchdowns (11 more than next closest) and yards per game rushing (21 yards more than his nearest challenger).
Bramble has handled his role as observer and learner well, Wilkerson said.
"I think he's been very mature about it," he said. "He's a team guy and has been very unselfish and has continued to learn and understands where he is right now. I'm sure he would like to play more but it really all comes down to circumstance. I know he has the talent to be that guy (in the future) but he has been unselfish and done everything we've asked him to do."
While he's passionate about football, Bramble knows education comes first, one of the reasons he chose to attend Dartmouth.
His work ethic in the classroom, along with on the football field, made attending an Ivy League school a reality.
"When I first got a letter from Harvard and some other schools I thought it was crazy and there was no way I could get into those schools," Bramble recalled. "But I guess starting off good in high school in my freshman year, and keeping up the good grades, really paid off in the long run. Most people would call me a nerd because I tried hard, but trying hard really paid off in the long run.
"It's mainly the reason I came here. The likelihood of me going to the NFL is not great so why not come somewhere that is going to help me the rest of my life. I think a school like this will do that. My high school coach (Brian Glesing) was always talking about being a student athlete and not just an athlete, and I think that really rubbed off."
Dartmouth is 5-4 heading into Saturday's season finale at Princeton. The Big Green have produced one of the Ivy League's best running attacks in recent seasons.
Dominick Pierre is averaging just over 100 yards per game rushing, second in the Ivy League.
Former Dartmouth running back Nick Schweiger led the Ivy League in rushing the past three seasons and was in the St. Louis Rams' NFL training camp this season.
Local fans won't have to travel too far to watch Bramble potentially play in the future, as Dartmouth will play at Butler next season on Sept. 21, 2013.
It's not outside of the realm of possibility that Bramble could play a big role in that game.
"We feel very good about his potential and he has a bright future with us," Wilkerson said. "We're excited about his continued development in our program."

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Catherine Garvin sat Wednesday on the porch of the same house she has lived in since she moved to Charlotte in the early 1940's on Heflin street.
Garvin said all her children have since moved away but always come back to visit her and the old Grier Heights neighborhood. She said she is excited about the groundbreaking down the road.
"I wanted to be in Charlotte, and I moved right here to Grier Heights," Garvin said as she sat outside the brick duplex. "I raised five children here.
"[My daughters] ask me, 'Mom are you going to move over there.?' I tell them I don't know I'm thinking about it," Garvin said.
Two faith-based non-profit groups, CrossRoads and Self Help Community, partnered with the city of Charlotte to build the Elizabeth subdivision in Grier Heights. The groups worked to get funding to buy a six-acre track of land on Heflin Street where some of the area's worst houses once stood.
Now those houses will be replaced by 35 new houses for families with mixed incomes. The groundbreaking on Wednesday was for the first phase.
"It was a blighted area, and it was housing a lot of crime and we came and figured we needed to knock that down," said Pastor Larry James. "If we have a mixed community, it leads it into a place where we have longevity and people would love to come and be a part of and make it home."
The goal for CrossRoads is to help increase the number of homeowners in the neighborhood by 25 percent. Currently more than 80 percent of people who live in the neighborhood rent.
